Harbin, the snowy capital of Northeast China’s Heilongjiang Province, is called the “ice city”. It caught the attention of a great number of visitors during the New Year holiday this year. Many people were drawn by the great ice sculptures (冰雕) of its Ice and Snow Festival. Among them, 11 special visitors got a lot of attention all over the country. What is so special about these visitors?
Well, the 11 visitors are a group of children aged between 3 and 6. Led by three teachers, they come to Northeast China from Nanning, Guangxi Zhuang Autonomous Region for a study tour. The lovely kids wear orange coats, so people call them “small sugar oranges”.
At first, some parents were worried. But then they found that the children enjoyed their trip. During the trip, the children played ice and snow games. They tried ice skating and built snowmen. They also made new friends. They spent time together in the cold wind, learned to work together and helped each other. This group of “small sugar oranges” also visited China’s northernmost fire station in Mohe. There they sang the national anthem (国歌) and showed their thanks to the firefighters.
“The study tour was very meaningful!” says one of the parents.
